"Happy people do not kill each other. Human life may always contain illness, old age, and death - but the way we train ourselves to view these things can reduce much of the actual suffering that accompanies those experiences. It can also decrease the production of circumstances that might lead to future sufferings. [...] The main purpose of my life is to help create positive counterparts to existing evil."

My review - "The way is not [on the road]. The way is in the heart." I found Buddha's words to
be quite fitting to give you a sense of what this memoir by Doug "Ten"
Rose stands for. I would assume the author applied a light coat of
fictional sheen to his remembrance of that portion of life spent on
the road in search of his true self. But, whether realistic fiction or
travel log, Fearless PuppyOn American Road is an open "manifesto" of personal views and social
commentaries, loaded with emotional authenticity and clarity of vision.
The fact that Rose's narrative is so well paced, so well written,
pleasant to read and engaging at all times is just the icing on the
cake. Not only a vivid portrait of an era (1960s and 1970s) painted through the
eyes of a true child of that culture, but first and foremost an honest
picture of the stupidity and saving graces of our human nature. Read my review of REINCARNATION THROUGH COMMON SENSE by Doug Ten Rose.About the author - "If you put the writings of Kerouac, Chopra, Hunter S. Thompson, Castaneda, Black Elk, Will Rogers, Gandhi, and a clown in a blender with 500 lbs. of additional hallucinogens and a time machine, you would have the writings of Doug Rose." Doug "Ten" Rose is the author
of two books - Fearless Puppy On American Road, and the recently released Reincarnation Through Common Sense. He has organized charity
projects involving governors, senators, rock stars, and major league
sports teams. "Ten" has also been a heroin addict and drug dealer,
worked as a juvenile and psychiatric outpatient counselor, in factories,
construction, and environmental outreach. All author profits from book sales are donated to sponsor Tibetan Monks, Nuns, Lamas, and their causes.

After reading this book, I felt "enriched" and grateful for the opportunity to be part of Doug Ten Rose's ride, even just as a reader. I look forward to REINCARNATION THROUGH COMMON SENSE. Thank you for stopping by, Adele.

About Me

Mother of two amazing kids, Miss A™ entertainment columnist, avid reader bordering book-fetishism. Books are my childhood friends, my stress-relief therapy, my wings to fly to faraway lands and distant times, my source of knowledge and inspiration. I simply adore them and consume them aplenty. My "book love affair" began in my early teens with the Bronte sisters, Dickens, Austen, Poe, Conrad, and James. My taste in reading was shaped by those masters and still today, when I read fiction, I appreciate the dark tones, the Gothic touches, and the psychological insight typical of those classics.
